looks nothing like the screenshot for me. I get a horrible glitching mess of polygons. (Dual p4 xeon 3.0, 2gb ram, geforce quadrofx 1000, drivers v56.72 (was the same on 56.60 too)

oh yeah i know it's buggy - it seems that some opengl drivers cause that, i will fix it and other bugs too but i'm lazy now

psonice: try the fast bugfix, available at the same download link.
i can't really test it, so bugreports welcome :)

Wow. Except for the primary color textures and cloud texture, this was perfect! Impressive soundsynth, and it didn't seem to cost you in terms of fx quality...

This was my favoritest PC 4k at BP! Finally some neat effect instead of just object/scene flybyes (I prefer this 4k from the 1st place just because of the effects). The part on the screenshot made me say "I will vote for that 1st!" =)

ts: it's not our executable compressor, it's Joergen Ibsen's - i've just done some hack such that the result is a windows executable instead of a dos .com file... (next time read the nfo file :)

This is pretty damn impressive, with some of the best sound for a 4k.
I assume you generate your intersection tables?
Anyways, it'd be nice to have some additional technical information =)

blabla: i´ve read the info file, but it doesn´t give any details...(and I´m not that interested in reengeneering the whole file) ;)
added on the 2004-04-27 10:33:10 by T$ T$
nezbie: i assume csg is done via the stencil buffer.

this prod really rocks (doesn't work here...)bigscreen-fun!
added on the 2004-05-03 00:00:21 by prost prost
csg? with stencil? wow :D
all the "csg" you see in there is done by isosurfaces.
added on the 2004-05-03 08:18:47 by Gargaj Gargaj
ts: first, it's blala and not blabla. second, reengineering would give you much fun :)
and of course i didn't use stencil buffers or intersection tables; but yes, the marching cubes table is generated.
added on the 2004-05-03 17:15:07 by blala blala

If blala writes to much then it would be blabla.
rulez added on the 2004-05-03 20:11:49 by wain_ wain_
cool. i thought you did it via stencil buffer.

Ah, stupid me. My four-year old computer is just too old :) Have to watch this on my friend's machine then..
added on the 2004-06-22 20:50:53 by Preacher Preacher
Is it a matter of CPU or 3dcard? On some computer, I get a bunch of destroyed polygons, and I thought at first that it doesn't work on P4 because that's what every computer that didn't run well, had.
added on the 2004-06-23 09:15:38 by Optimus Optimus
optimus: i fixed (or at least i hope that) that bug (which depends on the opengl driver) one week after the party; the download link points to the bugfix. maybe someone should upload it to scene.org too... :)

Crashed. Says nothing about unsupported cards ...
sucks added on the 2005-05-21 17:46:57 by ManJIT ManJIT
it's not the card, it's the crappy ati opengl drivers (works with the older drivers). there're quite a lot of scene productions with the same problem. starting with some farbrausch ones, iirc. if _YOU_ send me a fucking ati card - as i don't have any and has no intention to buy _ANY_ fucking gfxcards in the near future - then i will try to fix it (again, as in fact i already tried, but did not succeed without accessing an ati card)
.
btw, thumbing down a prod without seeing it is so very lame, i have no expressions for that...
added on the 2005-05-23 10:58:58 by blala blala
doesn't run on my ati either, but just a thumb to counter manjit's. i believe i liked it at bp back then.

[00:57:45] <ryg> just leave Characteristics/OriginalFirstThunk at zero.
[00:58:03] <ryg> then the driver doesn't try to read that table.
added on the 2005-05-23 12:25:31 by Gargaj Gargaj
[13:01:30] <hitchhikr> That's not enough, ati's ogl driver needs the header's IID pointer to be valid aswell (that's why mew fails).

gargaj/hitchhikr: thanks for the info. just if you told me that when i asked for it back then, i was more in the mood of fixing than these days :) [i even tried based on the info i had, and sent a version to somebody with an ati card, but did not work. coding for a hardware you don't have is not really fun]
